Im almost 6 weeks along, and I am having
frequent and troublesome lower back pain.
It keeps me up and night and is really
painful and stiff in the am. Is this
normal during first trimester, I would
have expected this in late 2nd and 3rd
trimester. Has anyone else experienced
this? Or do we need a new mattress?

I did. It was sciatica. It was the worst
pain ever. The morning was better for me,
it was the end of the day that was my
worst time.
I had back pain from the time I was 9
weeks until I delivered. It had something
to do with the relaxin my body produced
and my hips shifted, causing pain in my
sciatic nerve.
Be sure to mention this pain to your
doctor.

I had the *same* thing that early. It was
.sciatica, as well.
My Dr. said there was nothing for it
besides knee to chest stretches. I was
working at the time too .
Every little movement I made sent a
shooting, piercing, shreak of pain up and
down my entire left side.
It hasn't happened yet with this one, and
I'm 12 weeks. so hopefully I'll get lucky
this time! ::crosses fingers::
I can totally emphathize with you
though!!!

ugh... sciatica...
i'm having a pretty bad flare up right
now. the only thing i can do to make it
feel better is flex my foot all the way to
the side as far as it will go and hold it,
then release and do it again.

Can't you get really bad back pain if the
baby is back to back with your spine?

I have the most trouble after I have been
sitting for a while. When I stand up, I
feel sharp pains, and then I crack my
lower back or something 'pop's lightly and
it goes away? Is that sciatica too? the
pain goes from my lower back down my bum
kinda...

i have sciatica really bad. i have to take
painkillers 4 times day just to get by.
what sucks is my last pregnancy ended in
september
sciatic pain is the worst , i got it late
in pregnancy with joseph, but then at 8
mths old is when i got pregnant with
jordynne and i had it from the start, i
thought after joseph all the pain would go
away but nope, it sucked, it hurt to bend
over to sweep and mop, i couldnt sleep on
my back and even sitting on the couch for
30 min hurt me, i swear i was walking like
an fool near the end cuz i couldnt walk
normal cuz the pain shot all the way down
to my leg. I still have flare ups now and
my daughter is almsot 6 mths old! But its
not quite as bad.
